News Distribution Attacked in Argentina

Two mayor Argentinean newspapers reported attacks on their papers' distribution in Buenos Aires. In addition, blog portal "Voces Cubanas" (www.vocescubanas.com), which features Cuban bloggers such as Yoani Sanchez is no longer accessible from at least 2 independent servers and locations in Argentina. However, Ms. Sanchez blog is still accessible here.

The attacks on distribution of print papers began on Friday coincidentally the same day in which Yoani Sanchez alleged having been detained and beaten by the 'political police' in Havana.

In Buenos Aires newspaper distribution trucks were blocked and several distribution points reported threats, thefts and even armed assaults. You may still be able to read about it (in Spanish) in Clarin here and here and in La Nacion, here.

UPDATE NOVEMBER 18, 2009

The blog portal "Voces Cubanas" (www.vocescubanas.com) is again accessible after having been unavailable for more than a week.
